things that are warm and fuzzy

things that help them connect with the people they love

things that help them feel connected to you

things that feel and taste good, especially chocolate

things that make them feel happy, valued, appreciated

things that provide pleasurable, sensual experiences

Enduring –

things that give them space from other people

things that give them quiet time
